So in a recent webmaster hangout that Google did, John Mueller stated something along the lines of..
"Domains that have been dropped and re-registered by a third party, no longer have any power from the previous link profile"

Though it does lead us to a tactic that Google COULD be using in the near future to stop the rampant use of expired domains for PBN-ing.

Seems like you can't even listen properly. He said for example if church domain expired and someone picked it up and made design company for example, church related link profile won't have any effect on new website.

Solution? Make a quality pbn with related content to what domain was previous.
But I still see people having results with unrelated content, so either this isn't in effect yet or it's just google trying to scare morons as usual.

Ah, so much crap. Random guy just says random crap and half people here are crying about end of SEO.

The algorithm they would need to determine which backlinks are "okay" and which aren't "okay" and should get devalued would have to be immense as fuck. If any kind of algo like this was in effect, trust me, you would see brutal drops and jumps all over the Serps. Not just 1%, but entire search engine would be upside down. It would be bigger than all the Penguins combined.

There are millions websites, which have links from completely unrelated sites. Are they going to devalue them too? Or it's okay as long as the site is live, but as soon as it expires, all non relevant links will just... die? Oh my... so much bullcrap everywhere. No wonder people believe "alternative" media.

So that you are really sure that your content kind of stands on its own and make it possible for other people of course to link to your content. Make it easy, maybe, put a little widget on your page, if you like this, this is how you can link to it. Make sure that the URLs on your web site are easy to copy and paste. All of those things make it a little bit easier.

We do use links as part of our algorithm but we use lots and lots of other factors as well. So only focusing on links is probably going to cause more problems for your web site that actually helps.

So basically all someone has to do is make it easy to copy and ask people to share. Find out where people are naturally coming from or social media, what their interests are to determine the type of sites that they would share a link on and then post that link on those sites.
